Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 March 2018

Sims Design Studio
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 April 2014
“We've had the pleasure of working with Ken recently to design a custom home. All I can say is that he's an awesome guy! Ken understands the structural, mechanical, and technical aspects of construction inside and out. His drawings are exceptional. (We have received numerous compliments on the plans from contractors.) But he also has an incredible sense of design - from overall concept, to layout and flow, to architectural details, to lighting and interior design. He becomes heavily invested in his projects, and it clearly shows. The quality of his work is far better than many of the high-dollar architects we could never afford. It has been a fun process, we are thrilled with the result, and along the way we made a great friend. What more could we ask for? I would highly recommend Ken to anybody who is looking to build or remodel a house!”
Coates Design Architecture + Interiors
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2012
“We've toured the residential and commercial projects created on Bainbridge Island by Coates Design, and have followed their work for years. Our office was in the same building, and we often stopped in to learn more about their projects. We've always been impressed by their great architectural sense of aesthetics, and their ability to create innovative work that blends well into the surroundings of the project location. Very professional, very pleasant and very accomplished.”
Mosaic Land Design
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2017
“Jonathan is deeply committed to the project outcome. Very refreshing in his authenticity and equally creative in his design concepts. Excellent follow-through. I would definitely hire him again for my design-build projects.”
Spokane House Plans, Inc
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 January 2014
“We designed our house with Spokane House Plans last year. We wanted two-story appearance, but we didn't want two-story house. AK found a compromise by putting guest suite upstairs, with all living on main floor. When we ran into some site problems during the construction (steep hill), he came back and adjusted the plans free of charge! Definitely recommend and would use him again and again!”
Fusion Architecture
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 August 2015
“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”
Sam Rodell | Architect AIA
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2012
“Sam is a true thought leader. His design is rooted in a deep sense of place. He has an affinity towards radical materials and energy efficiency, yet never loses sight of the purpose of the project. Select Sam if you want a dwelling that not only works, but keeps working though the passage of time.”

Copeland Architecture & Construction Inc
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 February 2014
“I have the utmost respect for Copeland Architecture and Construction. They are extreme professionals in the industry. I have seen first hand the quality and dedication that they put forth in everything that they touch. I used Jeff Fountain for consulting on a downtown project and I also had to privilege to sell one of his buildings.”
Design Services NW
Architects in Fairwood, WA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2014
“Oscar and team did an incredible job designing our lake home. I'm a budget focused guy and he was able provide thoughtful design solutions that minimized cost while maximizing the wow factor of our design. Our site was extremely steep (think near vertical) and Oscar was able to create an incredibly efficient solution by integrating structural and site design with our unconventional floorplan needs. Our project is nearing completion and Design Services NW was our best decision. Nate W”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Fairwood, WA also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Fairwood, WA who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Fairwood, WA, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Fairwood locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Fairwood, WA architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Washington subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
